About The Artist : Greg Diax

Greg Diax will be one of the most influential Australian artist of the 21st century and the creator of the (AUS -21) style. Even Diax's earliest drawings (1981), executed when he was about nine years old, showed exceptional talent. Saint John's Catholic school where he completed year 12 successfully going pass many subjects including Arts (Drawing and sculpture).

When Diax and his wife moved to Sydney, Australia 1995, he discovered Traditional Aboriginal Art by many visits to his relatives (Aboriginal), Sydney residents which introduce him to dot painting and Aboriginal culture. His great Traditional Aboriginal Art and his all ready love for Abstract, Cubism and Expressionism, starting to melt together.

At the start he used strong colours. His principal subjects were lively scenes of popular, folklore (Aboriginal scenery, Skyheroes, Australian Animal, Bushrangers). Late in 2005, he moved to Warwick Q.L.D,Australia. His gloom lifted and  he looked freshly at humanity with tenderness and admiration and adopted warmer colours and a more harmonious classical style ; during this rose period, his favourites subjects were waterhole, dingo, Boomerang, Didgeridoo, Bushranger and The Australian Outback.

Between late 2005 and Aug 2006, influenced by the paintings of  Pewrle , Picasso ,Pop art and The  Australiana style. Diax discovered that if he disregard the conventional means used  for creating an illusion of reality and combine the old with the new, he could represent things more realistically by conceptual procedures.

Late 2006 he was sponsored by P.A.C Gallery ( Vienna ) which takes him to his first European Expo at Salon Imaginatiff Citron II a very well known Expo in Vienna (Austria) in which great artist from all around the world get to exhibit their work.
